Description:
The quest for gold has ravaged countless landscapes around the world, and miniature gold rushes are now exacting a high ecological toll in places such as the Amazon and far eastern Siberia. Richard Manning, an environmental journalist, covers different ground in One Round River, a case study of a gold consortium's campaign to open a mine on the Big Blackfoot River of Montana. Such a mine, he writes, would effectively destroy the river for the short-term gain of just a few people. His argument is cogent and convincing; One Round River is a fine case study of the struggle to preserve wild places.
